I'm going to give this game 4 stars, because I think that is what it could be down the road, but it's not there yet.

This is more of a demo, and it's short enough to where I think anyone interested in the game, even a little, should just play it themselves. It's not a big time investment, if you're on the fence or something about playing it.

So there are some standout issues, but again, it's more of a demo/early access, so that's to expected, but lets get in the issues anyway.

The game is dead silent, no nothing in the sound department. Maybe the dev already has plans for that, but just in case, I would recommend adding some bgm.

The game also has something weird going on with the character images. It's kinda hard to explain, but the character images are separate with their own background that's also separate from the scene's background. It's a bit awkward and takes me out of the game a bit, so I hope that gets changed up in some way. Maybe just make the character's background transparent.

As for text and the textbox, the textbox is a bright white, so I would have an option to change it to black or just make the default black, so it's not so bright.

This next thing is more of a personal preference thing, but I feel like the story/pacing feels off. The game is too quick to send you back to your room and hard transition to the next scene/day, where I feel like a number of these scenes could/should just lead right into each other. Like the first few are a good example. It's mostly just talking, but after every choice plays out, the game skips to your room so the MC can monologue, then to the next day, where it could easily just have the MC monologue there, in the room with her, then simply lead into the next convo and choices. I don't feel we should go back to the room until something worthwhile happens, if at all.

I also feel like the game is too quick. I'm not saying the game should be a slow burn, but even by the end of the demo you got this bitch trained. So it feels like the pacing is set to rapid speed. Maybe the dev has a lot planned for the different routes, like corruptions, so they wanna get into it fast, or maybe they have more girls planned, so they don't mind speedrunning one of them, I don't know, but I think it's worth considering for the dev to look into the pacing.

That about does it for the game as it is now, but there are some things I'd like to talk about in regards to what I'd like to see done with the game. But if you just want a review, you can skip this section.

Firstly, and to help with the dead silence issue, I'd like to see the game add voiceover for the female lead. The game is close to 100% AI as is, so I'd like to see it take that extra step and add AI voiceover. AI voice has made some great advancements lately, and I feel like this game would be great for it.

Secondly, I'd like to see more routes than just the base three. You have love and corruption at the moment, but I think it'd be cool to see how this story could play out through more routes, especially if you don't plan to add more characters. Maybe a blackmail route, or rape route, or ntr/bbc route, just to throw a few out there.

Other than that, I like where the game's going and have high hopes for it. It'll take some time, but I'm willing to stick it out and see how it pans out if the dev's willing to put the work in.

Here's a quick pros and cons.

Pros
-multiple routes
-pretty female lead
-corruption

Cons
-no sound/bgm
-short
-fast paced, if you're more into a slow burn
-early in development
